Method

1

Crumble the cottage cheese with your fingers or a fork into bite-sized curds; mince the garlic and ginger; finely dice the onion and tomato; slice the green onions, keeping whites and greens separate.

2

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Add the diced onion and whites of the green onion; sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.

5

Add the garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder; stir constantly for 15 seconds to bloom the spices.

6

Add the chopped tomato; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato begins to soften and release its juices.

7

Add the crumbled cottage cheese to the skillet; stir gently but constantly for 4–5 minutes until the mixture is heated through and the cheese develops light golden spots. The texture should be lightly scrambled, not mushy.

8

Taste and adjust salt as needed; remove from heat and stir in the reserved green onion greens.

9

Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm alongside roti, naan, or rice.
